Excellent points you’re making. Our media is full of it. These were the same people condemning Joe McCarthy seventy years ago of perpetrating the “Red Scare” when he rightly pointed out the Soviet communist infiltration of our federal government. Today that same media is blaming all things Russian from Putin to its people and culture just to fit their political agenda. They just ushered in another Cold War environment. The damage the media has done to the world as a whole is undeniable!
I’m old enough to remember the Cold War. Liberals were charmin soft on the Commies. Joseph Stalin murdered tens of millions of people and he was packaged as “Uncle Joe” as soon as it became useful. At the height of the Cold War we didn’t seize Russian’s property, throw them out of entire countries, cancel Tchaikovsky and Dostoyevsky, etc etc.
Yet all these things are being done now....often by the same people who were squishy soft on communism - and the Soviet Union really was out to dominate the world and really had regarded us as an enemy.
